• 4. This recipe is so good that I always double the recipe when ever I make it, and there are never any left overs. Also note I also plump my raisins in microwave for about 5 minutes, by covering them with water and heating in microwave for 5 minutes, then let them sit, and drain the water off,and then add them to the meat mixture. This adds extra moisture & slight sweet flavor to the patties. Picture is compliments of Wiley P.
